Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Our old friend Jon Matula has returned to Nosara and is rolling about 14 deep. His group spread out across several boats on the 13th, and the group on the Discoverer posted some great Yellowfin Tuna catches.
These were backed up by a nice Dorado and a sweet Blue Marlin release.
Craig Sutton finished off a good week of fishing by taking advantage of the best bite of the year.
His five-hours on the Discoverer was highlighted by this nice Marlin release backed up with a sweet Sailfish.
David and Kevin Paredes joined Captain Alex on August 12 and continued their run of hot fishing both offshore and inshore.
This 34lbs. Rooster Fish release is a great addition to the trophy case, and was a harbinger of good things to come later in the day when they headed offshore.
The Harvester reports a 48lb. Yellowfin Tuna and two nice Dorados caught in the blue water offshore.
Alabama angler Hall Massey made history for the FishingNosara team by being the first person to catch a Sailfish on the fly.
We’ve attempted a bit of fly-fishing over the years, and this accomplishment was a long time coming.
Roll tide!
Patrick and Jennifer Humphrey and their group (Donald Gibbs, Dominic Miller, Brittany Marie) knocked the Yellowfin Tunas out of the park on August 11 with three monster catches.
The ladies got in on the action as well.
These monsters weighed in at 75lbs., 31lbs. and 25lbs.
Big smiles and big fish for this group of Florida-based anglers.
Craig Sutton and Javier went fishing on the 11th with Captain Fico, along with a special guest: Javier’s seven-year old son Dario.
Fans of this fishing report already know that Dario is a master of river mouth fishing, however this Sailfish represents his first billfish release.
Great work by young Dario!
David and Kevin Paredes joined the Discoverer for an amazing day of blue water action on August 11. These early-in-the-day Sailfish releases were the icebreaker.
Then the big fish of the day came calling…look at this monster 100+lbs. Yellowfin Tuna.
Outstanding work by the big battleship!
You know that Craig isn’t going to miss the best bite of the year…the Sailfish are thick and the big battleship Discoverer is stacking up releases left and right.
Great work by Captain Carlos
Craig Sutton got his week of fishing off to a good start with a trio of Sailfish releases in just 4 hours of fishing.
Excellent work by Mate Wilson to keep these fish calm and to release them safely.
On August 10, Natalie Scheider and her friends turned in a nice half day with the Explorer.
Big Dorados were the order of the day, and these anglers were more than happy to bring them home.
